Cedar Park Brake Service FAQs

What parts are involved in the braking system?

The braking system in your vehicle is composed of several different elements that all work together to slow the momentum of your vehicle and bring it to a halt. The braking system is made up of:

  • Brake pads
  • Brake calipers
  • Wheel cylinders
  • Brake rotors
  • Brake drums (if applicable)
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake lines and hoses
  • Parking-brake cables

Because your vehicle’s braking system is composed of so many different elements, it is vital to maintain a consistent brake-check schedule and bring your vehicle to a brake shop at the first sign of an issue. The mechanics at our Cedar Park auto shop have years of experience with the complexities of the braking system and can perform your brake check and brake service in no time.

Why are my brakes making a grinding noise?

When your brakes are making any strange noises, it is usually an indicator that there is something wrong that requires a trip to the brake shop for a brake check. Some of the reasons your brakes are making a grinding noise are:

  • The rotors and brake pads are wearing down, and you will need to have them replaced. A grinding noise due to wear is often an indicator that your brakes have sustained extensive damage.
  • There is an object embedded in the brake pads or brake calipers.
  • Your brake pads or rotors are not correctly positioned within the wheel cylinder.

When you start to notice a strange grinding or squealing noise when applying the brakes, you will need to have your brakes checked. Any strange noise from your brakes is not a good sign and could mean your brakes may not be safe to drive on. Lamb’s Tire & Automotive has years of experience diagnosing grinding noises from your brakes and will gladly help you with whatever brake service you need. You can trust our crew to have your brake check performed and repaired in no time.

Why did my brake check light come on?

There are several reasons why your brake warning light may be illuminated. When you notice that this light is on, it could indicate that your parking brake is engaged, your brake fluid may be low, you may have a faulty sensor, or there may be an electrical issue in your braking system. While there is no need to panic when this light is on, you should take it seriously. Because it could mean that there is an issue with your brakes, you could potentially be placing yourself, your passengers, and other drivers at risk of an accident. With something as important as your brakes, you want to be certain that the brake shop you choose for your brake repair will have the experience and training to perform your brake check. The team of ASE-certified mechanics at Lamb’s Tire & Automotive have the skills and proficiency to handle all your brake-service needs. Book an appointment today and let our crew help keep your brakes in pristine condition.

How does the braking system function?

The braking system is composed of several different components that work together to slow the momentum of your car or truck. When you press on the brake pedal, a series of actions takes place in rapid succession. First, the pedal is connected to a lever that forces the hydraulic brake fluid out of the cylinder and into the brake lines. The brake fluid then puts pressure on the brake calipers in each wheel to squeeze the brake rotors against the brake pads which creates friction. As this friction mounts, it slows the kinetic energy of the wheels and then brings the vehicle to a stop. These actions occur rapidly to bring your car to a slowing stop.
